Hi All, (pls ignore the next post which a duplicate and has some mistakes)
We are new to Christchurct and we are looking to build our first home. We don’t know much about builders here. Can you please recommend builders to consider and builders to stay away from?
What we are looking for in a Builder:
1. Someone who can build something different/special (have a vision; not a cookie cutter house)
2. Good build quality (reputed)
3. Deal with builder/site supervisor directly (not a lot with sales people)
4. Easy to deal with
We have a decent budget (not looking for the most economical option). However, we don’t want a builder who will use up the budget just because we have it. This is what we found with the first builder we approached. They took our budget as a baseline and are talking in terms of us bringing in more money to have a better features. The price is going in the range of NZ$2,600 sqm.
A friend who recently built a house has warned us that this is too much and we should find good builders who work within NZ$1800 – $2000.
Thanks
